Mesopotamia is a part of Iraq, and Iraq still does have the Tigris and Euphrates which remain the most important rivers in the Middle East after the Nile. The difference between Mesopotamia and Iraq in terms of topography mainly concerns the area of Iraq outside of Mesopotamia (such as the Zagros Mountains in the East or the Anbar Deserts in the West). Note: it is not that these areas did not exist during the time of Ancient Mesopotamia, just that they were not part of that region (in the same way that the Rocky Mountains were not part of the Thirteen Colonies, even though they are part of the United States and existed concurrently with the Thirteen Colonies). The other difference is that the silt carried by the Euphrates and Tigris Rivers has pushed the southern point of Mespoptamia further south each year. Half of Kuwait and the Iraqi Shatt Al-Arab region have been formed since the end of Ancient Mesopotamia.
